Vissim

Vissim is a Norwegian company that develops software and delivers turnkey solutions, sensors and infrastructure for advanced marine optimisation and marine surveillance systems. Its platforms digitalise the coastal and ocean space, combining real-time monitoring and data analysis into a decision-support environment used to plan, monitor and optimise offshore wind, offshore energy, port and coastal operations and assets. Stated aims include optimising offshore logistics and marine and harbour traffic, protecting marine assets and personnel, and improving maritime security.

The company organises its offering around three focus areas: offshore wind, offshore energy, and maritime domain awareness (maritime safety, coastal surveillance and environmental protection covering both air and surface). Products include marine optimisation and logistics planning software, vessel traffic management solutions, radar-based oil spill detection, and personnel/resource management. Its software combines inputs from multiple data sources — maritime surveillance systems, radio communication, vessel traffic management and people management — into a real-time overview of marine assets, and its resource database covers more than 25,000 technicians with their certificates and competences, supporting automated certification, induction and permitting workflows.

Alongside software development, Vissim maintains an in-house project management team that delivers turnkey installations integrating its own hardware components with third-party software.
